The shield was held with a sling around the neck and shoulder. The arm was put through the shield and the hand was free, but the shield moved with the arm. The back hand would hold the rear of the spear and the front would grasp farther up. By putting the front hand across your body and on the spear the shield was naturaly in front of you.
